Services
Surgical Procedures
We offer traditional and laser-assisted surgical services in our fully equipped operating suite. Our veterinarians perform routine procedures like spays and neuters, as well as complex surgeries such as mass removals and bladder stone extraction. The surgical laser significantly reduces bleeding, swelling, and post-operative pain, promoting faster recovery for pets while ensuring precision during operations. All surgical cases receive comprehensive pre-anesthetic evaluation and monitoring.
Housecall Services
Dr. Ulm provides scheduled housecall services during regular business hours for pet owners who prefer in-home treatment. This specialized service benefits elderly or mobility-challenged pets and owners, offering personalized veterinary care in the animal's familiar environment. The mobile service includes most standard veterinary treatments including vaccinations, wellness exams, and end-of-life support while maintaining medical records continuity with the main clinic.
Cremation Services
We partner with Endearing Pets to offer both private and group cremation services for pets. Private cremation returns ashes to owners with various urn options available, while communal cremation provides respectful disposal without ash return. Our staff guides families through memorialization choices while respecting cultural and emotional needs during difficult times of pet loss.
Emergency Care
Ulm Veterinary Clinic accepts emergency cases during regular business hours for urgent medical conditions requiring immediate attention. Our facility maintains diagnostic equipment and critical care supplies to stabilize acute cases including trauma, poisoning, and severe infections. Clients are advised to call ahead for triage instructions before arriving to ensure prompt initial assessment and treatment prioritization.
Pet Wellness Programs
Year-round preventive care includes comprehensive physical exams, vaccination schedules, parasite screening, and dental evaluations for cats and dogs. Our wellness plans emphasize early disease detection through regular bloodwork and diagnostic testing while providing nutrition counseling and weight management guidance. Annual check-ups focus on maintaining optimal health through science-based preventive strategies tailored to each pet's life stage.
